Simple eyecandy ASCII tables, as seen in Catalyst.

This is yet another library for template-based text generation. Template-based text generation is a way to separate program code and data, so non-programmer can control final result (like HTML) as desired without tweaking the program code itself. By doing so, jobs like website maintenance is much easier because you can leave program code unchanged even if page redesign was needed. The idea is simple. Whenever a block of text surrounded by '<%' and '%>' (or any pair of delimiters you specify) is found, it will be taken as Perl expression, and will be replaced by its evaluated result. Major goal of this library is simplicity and speed. While there're many modules for template processing, this module has near raw Perl-code (i.e., "s|xxx|xxx|ge") speed, while providing simple-to-use objective interface.

Simple eyecandy ASCII tables with auto-width selection.

Soundex is a phonetic algorithm for indexing names by sound, as pronounced in English. The goal is for names with the same pronunciation to be encoded to the same representation so that they can be matched despite minor differences in spelling. Soundex is the most widely known of all phonetic algorithms and is often used (incorrectly) as a synonym for "phonetic algorithm". Improvements to Soundex are the basis for many modern phonetic algorithms. (Wikipedia, 2007) Text::Soundex implements the original soundex algorithm developed by Robert Russell and Margaret Odell, patented in 1918 and 1922, as well as a variation called "American Soundex" used for US census data, and current maintained by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). The soundex algorithm may be recognized from Donald Knuth's The Art of Computer Programming. The algorithm described by Knuth is the NARA algorithm.

This implements a spell checker to Text::SpellChecker using ZConf::GUI. textspellchecker - Spell checker script.

The Text::Striphigh module exports a single function: C<striphigh>. This function takes one argument, a string possibly containing high ASCII characters in the ISO-8859-1 character set, and transforms this into a string containing only 7 bits ASCII characters, by substituting every high bit character with a similar looking standard ASCII character, or with a sequence of standard ASCII characters. Because of precisely the deficiency this package tries to offer a workaround for is present in some of the things that process pod, there are no examples in this manpage. Look at the source or the test script if you want examples. Kai Storbeck kai@xs4all.nl

This module is built on Text::Aspell, but adds some of the functionality provided by the internal gnu aspell API. This allows one to deal with blocks of text, rather than just words. For instance, we provide methods for iterating through the text, serializing the object (thus remembering where we left off), and highlighting the current misspelled word within the text.

Text::Wrap::wrap() is a very simple paragraph formatter. It formats a single paragraph at a time by breaking lines at word boundaries. Indentation is controlled for the first line ($initial_tab) and all subsequent lines ($subsequent_tab) independently. This is a later version (from CPAN) than the one that comes with the base system's perl 5.00503.

Text::TabularDisplay simplifies displaying textual data in a table. The output is identical to the columnar display of query results in the mysql text monitor.

Parses "folksonomies", which are simple space-separated-but-optionally- quoted tag lists. See Text::Tags::Parser for the actual module; Text::Tags may be used in a future version of the distribution.
